I have the ability to clearly conceptualize the project at the overall level to identify the major elements to address, those elements are then further analyzed into various components to reach a workable and implementable plan within the appropriate constraints.
Totally astute and comfortable in the philosophies of programme and project management techniques, I have additional strengths in construction management and supervision of prestigious developments from tendering stage through to finishing works and completion.
I have worked in Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, China, Australia, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Dubai and the Sultanate of Oman.
